History The Mad Wizard Vomax calls this ancient, underground island home. Here the wizard studies and teaches his followers the ways of dark magic. Once the home of gloom elves, their city flooded leaving only the highest portions un-touched. Now, the old city sits in the middle of a great underground lake. Setup The acolytes of the Mad Wizard Vomax have stolen the Eye of Malas from the poomkin monks of the Quiet Keep. The eye is a sacred relic known for its abil-ity to open a portal into the Abyssmalsphere. And that’s exactly why the Mad Wizard is so keen on the Eye. Now he has it and it’s only a matter of time be-fore he opens that gate and calls forth a bunch of demons. The poomkin monks are sworn to passivity and as such cannot harm another living creature. They need the Eye back and they are willing to pay to get it. The adventurers will need to infiltrate the island, find the Eye of Malas, and return it to the monks.
